Hi to you all....

Just wondered if any one can advise me of any problems i may face if I were to alter the elastics on my awning so that it pegs down on the outside rather than inside.

It looks so much neater and being on a seasonal pitch I think it would be so much warmer with everything nicely tucked in.

Would be really grateful to hear your thoughts before i get the sewing machine out next weekend.....

Cheers

I thought this topic was going to be about belly-buttons....

Mine - a Ventura Marlin three-quarter awning - has rubber pegging points outside and the mudwall can be pegged down on the inside, too. I peg the mudwall if it's particularly windy as it gives more stability ... and cuts down on draughts.

No, the main pegging points (the one with the rubbers) are outside. The mudwall pegs down just through holes in the mudwall. Actually, you could peg the mudwall outwards, too, which could help shed water. Never tried that, though...

Am I right in thinking I have seen an awning somewhere where you could peg it on the inside or outside (i.e. with a double set of pegging points).  Can't remember where though.
yes we have porch awning that does this.

Now, the 64 dollar question is: if you have the option of pegging out on the inside or outside

i use both,saves getting up at 3 am when its windy.

I have been looking at a Dorema porch awning on thier website that can be pegged either inside or outside.

We have a Sunncamp Prestige that you can peg both inside and outside, always use the outside pegs bring the mudwall inside and put the groundsheet on top, keeps out the draughts.

If we are on a long stay I peg the mudwall down, I made some holes in the bottom of the mud wall reinforced them with brass eyelets to stop them blowing in strong winds.
